Japan has 4 very distinct seasons. Each season is unique and brings about not only a change in weather but also in nature, food, festivities and atmosphere. Japan begins its year in the cold of winter, during which the northern areas of the country are covered by a thick blanket of snow, attracting winter sports enthusiasts from all over the world. As the weather warms and the snow melts away, spring arrives and with it so too does the blossoming of flowers. Whichever season you are travelling in, you are guaranteed memorable and life changing experiences that can be found only in Japan.
Spring in Japan is all about flowers. Cherry Blossoms are synonymous with Japan’s spring and every year people from all over the world travel to Japan just to catch a glimpse of them. They last for a short one to two weeks and serve as a reminder of how beautiful but fleeting life is. The full bloom period varies depending on the area, with trees in the warmer south of Japan beginning to bloom first and trees in the colder north areas blooming later. If you are able to time it perfectly, you could spend a whole month travelling upwards through Japan and chasing the full bloom of the Cherry Blossom trees.

Autumn in Japan brings about the relief from the heat and humidity of summer. With the changing of the weather comes the changing of the leaves. During autumn, Japan’s usually green forests are transformed into a patchwork of blazing reds, oranges and yellows.
